Daddy.....

"Ha daddy! Can't catch me!" shrieked Screwball playfully. It had been weeks since that day. They were both getting along quite nicely. They were playing tag. Discord was never quite fond of playing childish games, especially with a filly. But the filly, she was energetic, to say the least. The only game that she knew how to play was tag. She had learned that game while watching a few other fillies playing it.

Discord and Screwball, they were both alike, like father like daughter. They both are energetic, they both like a bit of mischief here and there, and they both like chaos. But there was one thing that made them both stick out, Screwball.

She longed for friendship. She had always watched other fillies play and run and.......tag. She would ask if she could play along but of course, like the bullies, they thought that she was a freak. A big, purple uh..... swirly..... propeller hat.....uh... freak. Yeah. That's it.

She never got it. She was, what others called "not belonging" but what Discord calls "being unique". And with whipped cream on top, that is. He said that to make her know not to listen to what ponies say. He said that because, he knew. He knew how it felt it be alone, to be unwanted. He knew how it felt to not belong, to be called a freak. He knew. He knew from experience. And he didn't want the same for the little filly. He wanted her to embrace being different, embrace being unbelonging because it meant that you were better. Embrace being a freak because it meant that you could do things they couldn't do. Could you swirl your eyes without going blind? Didn't think so.

He said this to make her feel and know that she had more power amongst those petty little ponies. Especially since she's Discord's daughter.

So, Discord thought of giving tag a try since she wanted to play that so bad. He felt pity since the filly only wanted friendship in the first place. And look what that led to. A filly with broken dreams of ever having friends.

He decided to mend those broken dreams by playing with her this one game that she longed to play with friends. He thought of mending it with superglue but then he questioned himself of how. He felt like suing the superglue factory since it said that it could fix 'anything'. But he can't since he magicked it up himself and that would mean to sue himself but he didn't want to get charged with false advertising from himself.

Anyway, he played tag with her. They played outside in his little land of chaos. Candy canes poking out of the ground, the ground was checkered, the sky was purple, the air smells of chocolate. This is Discord's home.

"Oh, yes I can." said Discord as he chased the pink filly, grinning. He was running on all fours chasing the filly. Screwball giggled as she ran. Discord's fun grin was then replaced with a mischievous one.

He snapped his talon as he disappeared. Screwball heard the snap and looked behind her, still running. "Daddy?" she called out, looking behind at the emptiness. Discord wasn't there.

Confused, she didn't realised that the draconequus had appeared it front of her. She straight away bumped into him, but with Discord's quick moves, he took the filly in his arms and hugged her tight.

"Daddy!" she shrieked, laughing uncontrollably.

"Gotcha." he said, as he joined in the laughter. Then, Screwball's mischievous grin grew up.

She then proceeded to push his arms away, only to catch him by the stomach and tickle him mercilessly.

"What are you-" he couldn't finish his sentence as he got tickled. He fell backwards, laughing uncontrollably.

"S-STOP! HAHA! THIS IS TOO MUCH! WAIT! SCREWY! STOP! HAHA!" he laughed uncontrollably. After a few seconds of tickle torcher, he finally had the strength behind of his laughing fit to grab the filly.

"How dare you tickle the tickle monster himself, hmm?" he asked as he began to tickle her back. She then got trapped in a tickle fit herself.

"HAHA! WAIT! IT TICKLES TOO MUCH! DADDY STOP! PLEASE! HAHA! IM SORRY OKAY! HAHA!" she said through her laughing fit. He finally stopped.

"Remember: Never tickle the tickle monster." he said, grinning at the little filly. Screwy giggled.

"I'll try daddy. I'll try." she said. They both started laughing again. Even if she just met him about a few weeks ago, she can't help but feel like this is already home.

Discord laughed. There was also another reason why he played with the filly. He had a strange feeling that it wouldn't last. It's been weeks but nopony bothered to stop him. He then wondered if what the princesses said were actually true. 6 ponies will come and stop him with the.... 'Helements of Armory'? Something beyond those lines.

Anyway, he was confident that he was gonna get away with it but confidence isn't gonna help him. He remembered seeing a few ponies, wearing the uh...... 'Helements' I suppose...... Hey, it's not my fault that I was too busy to search it up. It was my fingers now stop complaining.

Each of them had a different-wait I can't keep saying 'helement'. Lemme search it up real quick........ Elements of Harmony. Makes more sense now. What an idiot I am.

Anyway, each of their elements are different and each of them was how Celestia described it. A blue balloon shaped one, a red lighting bolt shaped one, a purple diamond shaped one, a pink butterfly shaped one, an orange apple shaped one and a star shaped element that was attached to a crown. Each of these elements belonged to each of the element barriers. The Element of Laughter, the Element of Loyalty, the Element of Generosity, the Element of Kindness, the Element of Honesty and the most important one of the lot, the Element of Magic. But they resemble an even bigger magic when united together, the Magic of Friendship.

He gagged at the thought. Friendship was nothing he wanted. He want nothing to do with those pastel rainbowy coloured ponies and their infectious disease of holding hooves and singing songs together. He then thought of why Screwy wanted friendship.

Something struck him. She was just a filly after all. She did grew up in the friendliest town in Equestria. At least, he thought that she did. Ponies would be around playing games with each other or holding hooves or whatever spoilt brats did these days. She had always wanted to join with them but got denied at the sound of being called a freak. No wonder she wanted friendship more than ever.

And he had never wanted to admit this but, he longed for friendship too as well before. But as he knew he had never fit in with the ponies. Being an only draconequus certainly has its perks. He had had friends in his life before. Celestia and Luna. They had been friends before. But then he got betrayed, Celestia wanting him to leave their land because of his 'disruptive' chaos. So what if he turned the roads into soap or make it rain chocolate rain unexpectedly or actually turn the moon into cheese?

After getting betrayed, he longed for friendship no more. Because why would anyone want friendship when you could suddenly get stabbed in the back for it? After that was when he snapped. And then he became the Lord of Chaos everypony hated and dreaded today. Well, almost everypony.

Screwball liked him for the way he was. He may be a different, he may be a draconequus, he may be the Lord of Chaos, he may put Equestria into a state of chaos, but she doesn't care. Why should she care? Not like Equestria has done anything for her. And Discord, the so-called monster, he was actually nice to her. And now that he was her dad, no doubt that the subjects of Equestria could do any better. They look at the as a freak, but Discord just looks at her as a normal filly. Well, that's maybe because he was treated the same way. Well, at least he makes good chocolate milk and cotton candy.

Screwball giggled. Discord looked at his daughter, smiling in confusion.

"What's so funny?" he asked. Screwball's stopped her daydreaming.

"H-huh? Oh. It's nothing, daddy." she replied. Screwy was laying under Discord's head, looking at the chaos in front of them. She sighed sweetly.

Discord smiled. He was happy as long as his daughter was. And that was the most important part of chaos. As long as his daughter was happy with the chaos, than so is he.

He had never seen a pony, not to mention a filly, looking so happy at the sight of chaos. Even the princesses weren't happy with his chaos. But a filly, woah. Chaos works on mysterious ways.

"Night night, Screwy." he said as he tucked the tired filly in. It was a long day for the filly. Tag, tickling and laughing will tired a Screwball out, ya know?

Screwy hugged her daddy. "Night night, daddy." She let go. Discord kissed her forehead a little before walking to the door. But he then stopped as he heard Screwy call him.

"Daddy?" she called out. Discord turned back around. "Hmm?"

He walked back to the bed. "Daddy, can you sing me a lullaby?" she asked. Discord looked at her with a nervous glance.

"I don't think you want to hear me sing....." he said.

"Pleassse daddy? Pleasssssse?" begged Screwball. He sighed as he gave in.

"Anything for you, Screwy." he said as he softly caressed her cheek.

Discord:
"Please do not cry my dear,
Your daddy is so very here.
And if anypony causes you any harm or fear,
Then I will bring them pain,
And drown them all in chocolate rain.
Cause I am your daddy Discord,
And you are a piece of me."

Screwball:
"Remember that one time,
I was so lost and so alone.
And I got picked on so,
Said I belonged in a freak show.
But you came just in time,"

Discord:
"In time for me to call you mine."

Screwball:
"Cause I am your daughter, Screwball."

"And you're going to sleep right now." Finished Discord as he gave the filly one last kiss on the forehead. She closed her eyes and went to sleep, smiling.

"Sweet dreams. My little abomination." he said as he left, smiling.

It was a few days later. Screwball was flying everywhere, helping her father to spread chaos around. After Discord had transferred some of his magic into her, she had the ability to make chaos. Cotton candy clouds here and there, turning ponies' coat colours green, making the road turn into fudge a few seconds later letting ponies sink into the yummy goodness then turning it back, making the ponies trap themselves in the dirt road. She could even make herself defy physics and fly. Screw physics! It was an enjoyable time. She had never thought that doing this would be so...... fun. So rewarding to see the pain and absolute terror that spread across ponies' faces. It felt great to do this to the ponies that had insulted her or laughed at her. The ones that thought that they were better at her in everything or say that she was useless and that nopony wanted her. But now look, she was now an earth pony helping her dear father, the Lord of Chaos, spread chaos. She felt like she had finally succeeded in her wish to seek revenge. Sweet, sweet revenge.

She laughed maniacally. Her daddy would be proud. She felt joy in it. To be able to do this is nuts. And to have the Lord of Chaos as her daddy, that's even more nuts.

She then looked at her daddy, sitting in a throne in the middle of his reign of chaos. She was expecting a big grin on her father's face. But then dropped to the ground slowly, confused as she saw six ponies in front of him, each wearing a weird crystal element thing, a purple unicorn was wearing a crown, each different colours and shapes but other than that they looked like they had the same purpose of something.

She couldn't hear her the conversation between the group of ponies and her father. The only thing she saw was the group getting pulled by her father towards him, only for a purple unicorn to float in the middle of them and cast a forcefield, pulling them away from her father's magic and back onto the ground. Then, each of them started to glow, the purple unicorn's horn started to emit a small glow, her crown emitting a rainbow chain, connecting her weird crystal doohickey with the others. Then, the light started getting brighter, and brighter.

The elements then began shooting out lights, the shapes and colours of each individual's element. The light shot mercilessly at her father, him looking at them in surprise. But then, the poor filly watched in horror as the glow from the elements of each individual ponies began to grow, making a large rainbow, and then shot it at her father.

"NOOOOOOO!" yelled Discord in agony as the rainbow light shot him. From the bottom of his dragon feet and goat hoof he slowly began to turn into stone. And after that, the rainbow aura covered the whole town, making the chaos that her and her father had spread disappeared.

The light dissapatted. Right then and there stood, the cold statue of Discord. She felt tears running down her face. N-noo.... This can't be happening...... Daddy
....

She dropped down, sitting on the now normal ground, sobbing. Her first friend, and her beloved daddy. He is now gone. Gone for good.
